Brenda(n) and Gabe “Golden Showers” are going off to bootcamp this weekend. Godspeed, boys!
We had a visit from an original BlackBoxer and CrossFit message board moderator, David Wood. David was instrumental in getting Josh and myself to start this gym. We all owe him a debt of gratitude. Now that his shoulder is healed up, we hope to see a lot more of him. Thanks for stopping by, David!
Get in shape, girls!

I’m going to run and do the snatches.
I posted the link to the CrossFit NYC Black Box shirts on the main site. I bet the thongs are the hottest item.
I’m coaching and leading the class for my first time in Brooklyn tonight. I’m nervous and excited. Wish me luck!

That’s great! I’d like to thank Moon personally for coming up with a cool phrase that caused all this controversy!
And it also shows some Crossfitters need a cert for a sense of humor! Sheesh

Brendan

Fifties: 24:31
thanks for a terrific send-off, everyone. It meant a great deal to Gabe and I.

Gabe

Fifities: 35-36 something – did my damnedest to hold down the pound of bacon I had for breakfast (and succeeded). Double unders were not my friend today either Hari. But those burgers and the subsequent all-day drinking binge was well earned.
I’d also like to second Brendan’s comments. Not just for our amazing send-off party (thank you Allison and Marisela), but my whole experience at the box has been outstanding from start to finish.
Thanks to everyone,
Semper Fi

5K row – 18:13 (PR by 9 seconds)

Fifty: 35:42
I have yet to complete the fifty without a bunch of subs because of my back injury from last year. This was the fastest time yet with closest to rx’d I have done…. I don’t think you can call my knees to elbows actual CF knees to elbows, but it’s getting better.
Burpees just about did me in as well and felt pukie coming over to hang out with me. Didn’t go away until I finished.

What the hell is a Ring HSPU?? Hand stand push ups on the ring?? Is that possible?
There’s a category for that but not Elizabeth on the WIKI

Gabe, Brendan, glad you enjoyed the cupcakes. Like I said yesterday, do stay in touch and let us know how training is going. Semper Fi!

Coach P

Avery, I saw that effort you put in last night. You were in the zone.
Thank you everyone for working well together, and for going with my class arrangement. Your performances show how well we can adapt and perform under change and pressure.
Busting at the seems is a good thing as long as it’s not your waistline! (unless you have the proverbial bun baking:)

God speed men!

finished 31:23, the DU took forever and were all singles, easily 5 min
A_nyc, that is correct.

Kevin

Godspeed Brendan and Gabe. It has been great training with you guys.

AllisonNYC,
Are you checking in the right place? I added Elizabeth myself yesterday.http://www.crossfitwiki.com/Crossfit/2008Leaderboard-NamedExercises
(BTW, if you know how to post your results or edit your own People page, you pretty much know how to add a workout. In the editing tab, copy-paste two lines of the table and change the name, voil√†!)
Have fun coaching your class.

AllisonNYC

OK
I was getting lots and lots of e-mails asking for Black Box t-shirts.
Now I’m getting e-mails saying:
“Has anyone ever bought the thong? If so can I have their #?”
GRrrreaat..

xuan mai

Ewen – thanks for the rowing tips this morning. Very helpful!

Robzilla

Dinner Friday night:
Hanami restaurant (Japanese/Sushi) on the SW corner of 14thst and 6ave. We’ll meet at 730. All are welcome, and if you’re interested then email me so I have a head count.

Juan G.

is it bootcamp or OCS?
Chris was going to OCS I think.
good times either way.
so is it sake and sushi or are we going to see Cloverfield as well.

Robzilla

I was thinking Sushi. Email me though and I can see if there’s enough interest in Cloverfield.

michelle

i love when keith lies-
more back squats today which i suck at
bw-118
most i have ever been able to do 3 reps of was 115lb and have been stuck at that for months.
got some “new” direction from keith today (stare between your toes, lift your elbows)
then he told me i was lifting 115.
after 3 reps done he said -by the way -that was 125.
keep up the coaching and the lying keith.

Jeff

Good luck military guys!
My brother tells me that Cloverfield was awesome and that it was the closest he’s come to puking during a movie.
A2
I’m guessing you’ve seen the video of Jim “Beast Skills” Bathurst doing ring HSPU?

sam

Thanks for the great double under debate yesterday Keith and the lesson was useful too
I’m pretty psyched about the 100 snatches option, sounds like fun. Do we do one arm at a time or alternately?
I take it that Brendan and Gabe are going to join the Marines. Well, good luck! Don’t make other trainees look too bad will you

sarena

Keith are we gonna start now with rhythmic gymnastics too? I think that would work well with our new pilates mat classes! We all need to work our cores–squats are never enough!!

5k row – 21:24 | my first time, had to take a couple breathers
then worked on back squats with Keith
worked up to 5 reps 200#
Keith, thank you very much for the help today!

Rowed my boat today. 23:28.3. Not a PR but not far off from it, either (PR’s 23:11.) Only about the 3rd or 4th time ever doing a 5K row.
My legs are KILLING me from the 50 squats @ 95# on Monday. Damn.
Also, more importantly, THERE ARE STILL CUPCAKES leftover from yesterday’s Marines send-off. (They’re in a white bakery box on top of the card table that’s to the right of the fridges.) I highly recommend to the evening classes to eat them. By tomorrow they’ll be starting to dry out. Vanilla and chocolate, all with chocolate ganache frosting. Not remotely paleo/zone/healthy, but GOOD and made from scratch. That’s gotta count for something.

and thats my little boy on allison’s flikr page 1. and yes he did some hspus.
going back for his second session with keith today
watch out guys…

Ger

Hey guys just wanted to say thanks for putting me through the wringer with the Filthy 50 last night. Great facility and atmosphere. Hope to make it back this trip or if not then definitely the next time I’m in NY.

Gideon post WOD
Thanks Keith, I had no intention of working out tonight but had fun working out just the same! Glad yesterday was a rest day and tomorrow and Friday will be too!
Oly practice this morning, jump rope, kipping, BB bent over rows and CJ tonight! SWEET

Jeff

How’s the head count looking for Friday night’s dinner?

sarena

Oh I forgot those heavy DLs tonight too!
Jeff you coming next Thurs to party?

Michelle, Gideon was so much fun today. He definitely has so much potential.
And A2, yes, ring HSPUs are very possible, actually one of the easiest skills on rings (for gymnasts), supported or unsupported. There’s several vids floating around of people doing them, and every now and then I’m on the rings at the Box doing them too.
Here’s a vid of a hollowback press, which incorporates a concentric part of the HSPU:http://www.drillsandskills.com/video/display?path=rib004.mpg

Gene

Greetings to all from Taiwan. Crappy gyms here so I’m doing variations and combos of running, push-ups and med ball cleans with my ditty bag. Good luck at PI fellas. Watch out for those sand fleas.

Justin

My first time at Lost Battalion tonight… Forgot what its like dropping weights Pretty interesting place though and some good O- lifting.

Jeff

Sarena
I’m in for Thursday.
Keith doesn’t want me attempting any more ring HSPUs until I can get static handstand on the floor. Roger Harrell also warns people to not spot people attempting ring HSPUs.

Jeff

What size t-shirts do we still have at the box?

sarena

Jeff I think there are no more at the box. Now it cafe press or zilch!http://www.cafepress.com/crossfitnyc
Holy Mother of God–Helen in sub 7!! Check out OPT on the main page….Wonder what would happen with our lovely stairs and our NY pedestrians!

That’s a sick Helen time. I looked at the archives and saw that I did Helen this summer under 9 min. (I had my cellphone as a timer so i don’t know the exact time). So first, my goal is to do Helen sub 9 officially with an exact time, and then sub 7. The 400m were my strong point last time and i’m sure they’ll be strong next time too.

sam

did the snatches at 16kg, 16mins 37secs.
Also ate two cupcakes, thanks to whoever made them, very tasty!
Also met other Sam officially.

It appears that you have placed a lot of effort into your article and I require more of these on the net these days. I sincerely got a kick out of your post. I don’t really have much to say in response, I only wanted to comment to reply wonderful work.
